Very excited to relaunch the Bridging the Gap podcast🎙️ @MidEastPolicy with this insightful and sobering episode about the reality of the current humanitarian situation in Gaza with @shadimart

🎙️ At one point, humanitarian organizations delivering aid in Gaza paid $65 for one liter of diesel, that's more than $250 per gallon.

@shadimart, CEO of @MultifaithAid explains how extreme costs, damaged roads, and security risks obstruct aid delivery.

I’m quoted in this article from CNN discussing the meaning of ‘ceasefire.’ 🔗 cnn.com/2026/07/17/us/…

www.cnn.com How much shooting does it take to end a ‘ceasefire’? | CNN Last week, President Donald Trump declared that the “ceasefire” with Iran was “OVER.” But even during the ceasefire, the firing didn’t stop.

Equal justice shouldn’t depend on whether the perpetrator was Palestinian or Israeli. My latest publication examines this legal double standard embedded in U.S. anti-terrorism law.

Editor’s Pick:
The 1992 Anti-Terrorism Act supposedly gives all Americans an opportunity to sue perpetrators of terror in U.S. courts. But in practice, it gives Israeli Americans a path to justice while withholding it from Palestinian Americans.
